Fatty est le chef-cuisinier d'un restaurant dont Buster Keaton est le serveur. Un grand classique de situation dans les comédies burlesques et l'occasion pour Roscoe de montrer sa dextérité à jongler avec les plats et les couteaux et reprend des gags de Fatty boucher ou Fatty chez lui. Une longue scène du film est une parodie de la danse de Salomé. L'irruption du truand Al St John venu faire la caisse est le prétexte à une bagarre et Luke finira par y mettre bon ordre. Ces deux personnages sont les protagonistes d'une course-poursuite qui se déroule en parallèle de la comédie elle-même pour la rejoindre au moment du dénouement. On retrouve nos personnages lors d'un repas pris à l'office à la fin du service et le film se termine par le repos de l'après-midi que Fatty consacre à la pêche non loin d'un parc d'attraction où se trouvent Alice Lake et Buster Keaton. La fin du film est difficile à suivre car le film est fragmenté et incomplet.
